Scammers Impersonate Carabinieri to Sell Fake Magazines in Garda

“`html

They impersonate Carabinieri when making phone calls to hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurant owners in the Middle and Upper Garda, proposing subscriptions to military magazines.

They’re not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to finance, police, firefighters, or municipal police.

Recognizing the Scams

They often propose subscriptions to nonexistent magazines or those that have nothing to do with the law enforcement.

Therefore, be vigilant and immediately notify the genuine Carabinieri — simply dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by someone who,

desires money, and then disappears.
